Abstract: A detailed evaluation of snow water equivalent (SWE) and snow cover extent (SCE) derived using the combined Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) and Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) brightness temperature ...

Abstract: When Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) and Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) data are combined, the time series of dual-polarized, multichannel, spaceborne passive microwave brightness temperatures ...

Abstract: ive, daily, gridded, Northern Hemisphere snow water equivalent (SWE) datasets are analyzed over the 1981?2010 period in order to quantify the spatial and temporal consistency of satellite retrievals, land surface assimilation ...

Abstract: Snow cover plays a key role in the climate system by influencing the transfer of energy and mass between the soil and the atmosphere. In particular, snow water equivalent (SWE) is of primary importance for climatological ...
